replacing tires
need to replace tires on wifes suv

this will NOT be offroad....looking for good performance, handling and most importantly quiet.

looking for some good advice.
thanks guys

Jim,
Look at Kelly tires. I put 70K miles on my last set, and just put another set on last year. Very quiet, and priced well. I have them on my 04' trailblazer. I think it ran about $840 or so for the set.

tft has Goodyear Assurance in that size for $121,
Michelin Energy LX4's are $180.
I'd get a four wheel alignment. If your toe, camber, or caster is out your new tires wont last very long either. something is not right if those yokos wore out at 25k.
Get the paperwork from your alignment that shows vehicle before and after specs.
proper inflation is important too.

Buy Michelin's. You get what you pay for.

Jim:
I cannot remember the name of the tires but I got them at Tire Pro.
I think they were Bridgestones. I had them on a 2004 Trailblazer and got 85K out of them. Just great tires
